Aluminium

Blackburns Aluminium products

Aluminium is the most plentiful element in the earths crust and with the high proportion of recycling; reserves of the metal are never likely to be depleted.

Some of the greatest technical developments over the past century since aluminium became commercially available have centred around, or been enabled by aluminium.

Some of the benefits in using aluminium include high strength to low weight ratio, formability, corrosion resistant, good conductivity of heat and electricity, does not burn, environmentally friendly as it is fully recyclable.

Blackburns MD, Karl Weston stated during a recent meeting with a delegation of manufacturers...

''Stockholders have never been more important than they are in the current climate. UK manufacturers from all sectors must be able to compete in world markets. Stockholders provide the ability for manufacturers to obtain materials, such as aluminium and stainless steel, at a competitive price, by importing from the most competitive parts of the world and delivering the material they require, when they need it, without the need to tie up resource and capital...'
